Introduction to Trust and Intel® Trusted Execution Technology

---

While there are numerous papers and other forms of documentation on Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT), most of them focus on helping the platform designer and operating system vendor (OSV) implement the technology on a hardware or software platform. There are, however, a small amount of engineering, marketing and positioning materials that focus on the outcome or the use of the technology that would be helpful to an IT professional. Often though, these materials are more objective than subjective. That is, they tell the designer or implementer what they can do, but not necessarily what they should do, or why they would want to select one option over another. In the practice of making real use of new technologies, this gap creates a problem. Our experience has shown that when a platform arrives at the datacenter, there is typically very little information to guide the system administrator to make the best use of new capabilities such as Intel TXT. While Intel is well versed in collaborative dialog with our core audience of platform architects, OS architects, and software developers regarding implementation details, the Intel TXT enablement experience exposed us more forcefully to a new audience—and a new opportunity. We continually get questions from IT managers and cloud solutions architects wanting to know how this technology is and should be employed, in order that they can evaluate which options they should implement in their own environments. Hardware and software designers are also inquisitive about how the datacenters deploy the technology, what issues they face, and which features are important to them.
